Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.
I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me. ²Illusions are all vain, and dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions. ³Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. ⁴God’s Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. ⁵This is my choice today. ⁶And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.
I seek but the eternal. ²For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. ³What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? ⁴Today I would behold my brother sinless. ⁵This Your Will for me, for so will I behold my sinlessness. (A Course in Miracles, W-334. See also ACIM Lesson 334 Insights.)
Judgment is the ego’s key tool for making the world of separation seem real. But we pay a high price for our habit of judging. With judgment comes fear and guilt. These are the triggers that foster more judgment of others and ourselves. This process is a self-maintaining loop that can be broken only with forgiveness. For this we need God’s Voice to help us see the eternal presence of Love’s innocence beyond the images maintained by fear and guilt.
Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s help to see past the form our brothers seem to be to the innocence of the Love that they are. God created His Son, the Self we share with every brother, as an extension of His Love. This is our Reality. It has no form, but it carries the Light of Love throughout God’s Universe. As we let go of our judgments of our brothers, we discover the Love we are and find peace in Its changelessness.
